I don't think that easy_install support is going to
become universal until its functionality is folded
into distutils and it becomes part of the standard
distribution. Expecting everyone to learn about and
support a particular 3rd party addition is just not
realistic.
Even then easy_install support won't be univeral. I still run into
packages that don't use distutils, mostly stuff that is or was part
of a larger C code base.
